Long time no see
So here are some updates. I have managed to mend and also to mangle some bits on clio
Had some problems with misfiring - new MAP sorted it out. I have changed coils while being at it as well.
I have also new injectors in a garage waiting to be used.
Aaaan silverproject camber plates lying around. Hope they are good.
Got myself some NS2R (I rate them high for daily, very fun tire, direct, stiff, when wet and cold nice to "train" being smooth, when in temp and dry it is very grippy and predictable and does not overheat after few miles like Potenza Sport
And changed droplinks to adjustable H&R ones (must have when lowered - more grip at front).
So everything to have fun this season....
- few hours later

Car has occasional clunk from the front when taking of bit faster, nothing could bee seen and nothing seems to be loos in the garage. Then it slowly became louder, sometimes it was heard even when I go on the brakes before turn, or turning from the roundabout.
Then one day, driving through the village behind some BMW, I have heard like three metallic clinks like some metal plate being bashed on. I have continued, not being aware that that was probably my car (had my window open).
BMW slowed down to turn, I changed from 3 to 2, let off the clutch and car was like somebody was holding it and some metal grinding noise was heard. So disengage clutch, stop the car, to the 1st gear and take of.... no problem at all.
I took it very lightly and slowly to my home, and now I am afraid, what I will find, when I lfit the car at my friends garage
Hope its not gearbox. I kinda of bet on driveshaft, but it does not give me any vibrations and juddering when turning and accelerating (that was the case of failed driveshaft on my Focus). No grease leaking, rubber boots intact.
So thats about the "season" so far. Perks of having a french sports car driven hard I guess, but still love that. Smiles for miles are incredible.
